Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from Tottenham hotspot this summer.
Italian champions Inter Milan are interested in signing the defender. They already have a deal in place with North London club, but they are yet to secure an agreement with the South American..
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is interested in signing the Argentine defender as well. According to journalist Gaston Edul, they are the most active club in the transfer race right now. They have already sanctioned the departure of Nahuel Molina and Thiago Almada, and they have the finances to complete the deal.
It remains to be seen whether the Tottenham defender is willing to join them.
In addition to that, Arsenal have “real” interest in signing the player. They already have a top-quality defensive unit, but William Saliba is sidelined with an injury, and he could miss several months. It appears that Arsenal are looking to bring in more quality at the back, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the defender to join the club.
The 2022 World Cup winner could be attracted to the idea of joining a top club where he can fulfil his ambitions. Arsenal won the Premier League title last season and finished as runners-up in the Champions League. They have a quality team, and they are expected to fight for major trophies next season as well.
If they manage to sign Romero, it would be a coup for them. The 28-year-old is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact.
However, the animosity between Arsenal and Tottenham could make it difficult for the Premier League champions to get a deal done. Tottenham will not want to sell the player to a direct rival.
